Dallas rattled by 3.1-magnitude quake Friday morning, the first in more than a month
Best I can tell the earth hasn’t quaked ’round these parts since January 23, when the U.S. Geological Survey recorded two micro-quakes along what they later determined to be a two-mile-long fault line stretching from West Dallas to Irving. But on this Winter Weather Advisory Friday morning, they have returned.
The U.S. Geological Survey confirms: At 6:18 this morning a 3.1-magnitude quake rattled Regal Row near the Trinity River. Of course, if we’ve learned anything from these quakes in recent months, it’s that locations tend to change.
Though relatively small, the 3.1-magnitude return of the quake was impressive enough to awaken the slumbering all the way from Irving and Northwest Dallas and Carrollton to parts of East Dallas, if Twitter is an accurate gauge of anything.
